Dual Core 2.10GHz: What is actual clock speed for each core?
I have an amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 4000+ 2.10GHz processor. Does
that mean each core runs at 2.10GHz? Or is 2.10GHz split between the two cores (i.e., resulting in maximum clock speed of 1.05GHz for each core)? TIA. |

There is a small amount of overhead that sorts out what processes go to which processor, so the theoretical maximum speed is a little less than would be possible with a 4.2 GHz uniprocessor, but the difference is trivial unless you have custom-rewritten software for absolutely maximum throughput.

Cheers! jim b. You can check the CPU speed with PerfMonitor available at http://www.cpuid.com/ Even if the page says "x84 technical resources", it supports AMD64/x64/x86_64, which one you like better. --- Stefan Pendl Windows Vista SP2 AMD Turion X2 RM-70 2 GHz 4 GB RAM |
